UPDATED VERSION (2019): • Urban Altoids EDC Kit ...
My Urban Altoids EDC Tin projects are a constant work in progress. Version 2.2 is a timestamp of what my Urban EDC needs are at the present time yet it is continually evolving. This particular version is designed for “Urban Commuting” and not for “Survival” purposes. There are a few new highlighted features.
The main feature of this tin is the Magnetic Mounting applied to many of the items included in the kit, which helps keep gear secured in its designated storage location prevents it from falling out while in transit. This was achieved by tiny magnets that I glued to the gear, micro containers and inner walls of the Altoids tin. Next, this version fully leverages Micro Compartments, also magnetically mounted, inside of the main compartment to better organize smaller items. Lastly, I decided to go with a TSA Compliant approach with the gear, so no knives and other TSA unfriendly items are included (however, TSA still would probably want to search this kit after they saw it in an X-Ray just to be sure).
This kit is designed for “my” personal needs in an urban environment and does not reflect a universal selection of items. Everyone should have personalized preferences for gear to carry. However, I believe some of the organization aspects of this version could be leveraged with other variations of the Altoids Survival/EDC concept. Gear is specific to ones needs and organization can be universal. I hope you enjoy this version of my Urban Altoids EDC Tin!

Thank you for watching this video and for all of the comments. This version of the kit is over 4 years old now. Here is a link to my latest version of the Altoids EDC Kit: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MyMNiANaJrQ.html. I hope you enjoy seeing how this kit as evolved over the years. Cheers! ~Cliff

It's incredible what you can fit in this little tin.

@TheUrbanPrepper 8 лет назад

Thanks. For me, it's like playing Prepper Tetris.

I'm not good at those games, that's why I am so impressed lol

Indeed,just like tetris lol

@cugamer8862 8 лет назад

I went on Amazon to search for that mini Ratchet a lot of the other items you have in there came up under the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section. I think you've inspired a lot of people.

@Podcastage 7 лет назад

Hands down my favorite altoids kit on youtube. It seems like the most useful and I will definitely be adopting some of these techniques!

@jamestricker3741 7 лет назад

Just rewatching this for inspiration and I caught the line "Anti Diarrhea for real SHTF" - made me chuckle!

@miklospinter 8 лет назад

The best Altoids tin video I've seen. I don't carry an Altoids tin myself but I've seen many videos about them. But this is the first video that made me think: A tin like that would be great to carry. Well organized, great ideas.

@leaperrins8373 8 лет назад

To be honest, if you are using this kit everyday then it doesn't matter what other people think although suggestions can be useful. Using a kit is the best way to find out what you really need You understand that it isn't a wilderness survival kit, it's an everyday handy useable kit. ell done, you've obviously done a great job of making this into what you need.

@andrewtimms4299 9 лет назад

Very nice. Your attention to detail is exemplary. The ratchet looks good. Altoid mint consumption has increased exponentially since the start of your channel...fact.

@TheUrbanPrepper 9 лет назад

Andrew T. LOL! That is hilarious. "137 Altoids were eaten during the making of this video".

@stevenc4421 9 лет назад

True fact. I bought my first ever Altoids tin after watching TUP first tin video. Found I like the mints, and the tins are handy too! Altoids should really talk to TUP about being an ad spokesman! Oh yeah, the video is good, the tin contents are great! Well done, sir.

@kensei1984 9 лет назад

yeah kinda made myself sick from eating Altoids, trying to empty the tin. I should empty it into another tin, but we don't really get Altoids in Australia, had to go to a foreign food shop to get it for $4 USD

@Memphisfire40 7 лет назад

You took EDC at a new level- even though in Greece it is impossible to find all that products and Amazon orders cost the double at least to send at Greece, BRAVO!!!

Michael Petridis Thank you Michael! I'm really happy with this current setup.

@stevenwells9606 8 лет назад

Great channel! I watch your vids because I commute to the city for work and the items you review fit into my current lifestyle. Really appreciative of your honest reviews...I have picked up several items because of them and those items are working great in my edc. Definite upgrades to the stuff I used to carry...and I would have never come across them without watching your channel. So thanks.

Excellent. I last saw your first urban kit a few years back, and found this one today. Subscribed, and keep up the good work. Thanks.

@porterhighley4650 7 лет назад

This is one of the most well thought out kits I've seen. The biggest problem I have with these tins is finding any of the small items inside. The micro compartment idea is great!!!

@mechanesthesia 9 лет назад

More suggestions: The flat surface in the very bottom of the tin as well as the flat surface on the outside/inside of the mini tins can be used as a mirror or to put information like metric/currency conversions, additional phone numbers, etc.

Don't listen to fools about nail clippers. I have carried nail clippers and a nail file for decades before I heard the term EDC. Glad you found the Zebra pens, they are the best pens for the money. Thanks for all the great videos! You have inspired me to start prepping myself and innovate my kits and bags. Again THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS AND PDFs that are truly inspirational!

@TheUrbanPrepper 9 лет назад

Star Lord That is really flattering to hear. I'm very happy to have inspired you. I don't take to heart any negative comments regarding things like the nail clippers. I agree. For the price, it's hard to bear the Zebra pens.

@timlipinski2571 9 лет назад

Upgraded the Zebra F-701 pen with a Space Pen Ink Refill and may need a couple more. One pen for the shirt pocket and one for the BOB/Get Home Bag. And a Fisher Space Pen Refill for the Altoids green and red Tin.(takes up less space). A lot of RU-vid videos on upgrading the F-701 pen ! May go all medal for the pen.

Hi Urban Prepper Just completed my own Altoids 2.2 version kit. I shamelessly copied you with a couple of small changes, its was a fun project and I just want to thank you for the great ideas and all the thought and planning you put into this. Thanks a bunch!! Mike Victoria B.C.

Every time you make another tin I make one myself and closely match what you put in as possible. Thanks for the videos dude!!

@kbbjedi 9 лет назад

Haven't read through all the comments so forgive me if someone already suggested this. Maybe you could apply a cel phone screen protector to the base of the tin, save the shine and protect from scratches.

@TheUrbanPrepper 9 лет назад

kbbjedi That is a fantastic idea! I'll look into it.

@tamouq 9 лет назад

Funny you mention TSA. Just made me remember all the times my dad lost money clips to TSA with tiny two to one inch blades in them. Even when I was younger I thought it was redicoulous.

@dennisgrecco5831 9 лет назад

The Kit turned out excellent and the use of those tiny magnets is ingenious. You continually find the coolest devices, tools, etc.! The effort you put into each video is amazing and the PDF's are tremendously helpful (I have a file at home for all your PDF's). By the way, I ALWAYS carry a dedicated nail clipper which I use all the time. I have a nail clipper in every bag I have. Can't tell you how many people borrow the clippers or ask if I have one.

@TheUrbanPrepper 9 лет назад

Dennis Grecco Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words, Dennis. I really appreciate hearing that you enjoy the effort that I put into these videos. For me, filming RU-vid videos is a long, lonely process that is mostly done between 12-3am once I get the family to sleep. I really need to stay self-motivated to keep cranking out new material and constantly trying to improve the quality of my videos. Comments like yours really help me keep up the motivation and I thank you for taking the time to let me know this. BTW, I agree. I use the nail clippers at least once a week. I only get in a tactical knife fight about once every 2 years.

@DrZalt 9 лет назад

Your Altoids tin is getting really refined now. It looks like a great setup. You mentioned keeping band aids in your wallet, I do that too and have found it to be the best setup ( for myself) since I carry it most of the time I'm awake, I also keep a mini medi in my jacket, just in case. Good work and nice vid :)

@sjntube 9 лет назад

Nice kit. Definitely urban friendly. I'm surprised you received flak about including nail clippers in your EDCs. Of all the things I carry, other than my keys, I find that I use my nail clippers more than anything else. Clippers will always have real estate in my preps.

@TheUrbanPrepper 9 лет назад

Shawn Neal I'm not sure. I guess certain people find it "girly". I probably use them once a week. I used a fire steel once every couple of years. I try to integrate high use items into these EDC kits.

@christopherbiegel9553 9 лет назад

TheUrbanPrepper I agree, I use nail clippers for everything from nail clipping (obviously), to cutting fishing line, to clipping away dry dead skin from a cut that has been under a bandaid for a few days.

@vasvaskel8221 9 лет назад

TheUrbanPrepper Now, I'm not sure when a 'nail-clipper' became "girly"... It's simply not the case. Clippers have a myriad of uses. I have one set, that has a leather sheath... The sheath also contains a knife blade, a can-opener, and an awl... I have no idea where/when I obtained it, but I've had it for at least 30 years...

However in the UK I wouldn't be able to take the tweezers or the mini multi tool on a UK aircraft. My wife had a pair of her favourite mini tweezers in her bag & they spotted them on xray & pulled them. However they did provide her with a padded bag & postage to mail them home, at a cost (£s)

This really looks all inclusive. Only suggestion I would make would be to add a couple of BandAids. Not only can they help with a cut, but use the adhesive part to hold little screws and other pieces together if doing electronics repair.
